摘要:
AbstractFifty patients with melanoma (30 with clinical Stage I disease and 20 with clinical Stage II disease) were analyzed retrospectively along with the screening test done prior to surgery. While the value of the chest X ray is unquestioned in preoperative screening, the same cannot be said of liver, brain, and bone scans. The bone marrow biopsy, however, done with a Janshidi needle was of value in detecting one patient with bone‐marrow metastases who on examination had clinical Stage II disease and precluded surgery in this same individual. Therefore, we feel that in the preoperative scanning of patients with Stage I or Stage II human malignant melanoma, and especially in the latter, the bone‐marrow biopsy should be done routinely in addition to a hematological profile, liver profile, and chest X

摘要:
AbstractWe report here on two female patients who had permanent pacemakers implanted in their chests and who developed carcinoma of the breast subsequently. An association is suspected between the breast cancer and the pacemaker, which is implanted in an area which borders with the mammary gland or is even right within it. This suspicion led us lately to change in female patients the site of the subcutaneous pocket for the implantation of the pacemaker to a position higher in the chest than before. Moreover, we advocate frequent breast examinations in all female patients with implanted pacemakers.

摘要:
AbstractThirty‐one patients with Stage I melanoma were studied with regard to their response to common skin antigens. Patients were divided into two groups, those who had surgery alone, and those who had surgery and BCG. The results were comparable. It was found that the disease‐free interval was longer and the recurrence rate lower in patients who demonstrated cutaneous hypersensitivity to common antigens than in those who did not. Patients who had Clark's levels I and II lesions were more likely to be immunocompetent. The addition of BCG in the study did not appear to decrease the rate of recurrence, which seems to be related to the basic immunological status of the individ

摘要:
AbstractA 64‐year‐old man presented with dysphagia due to obstruction of lower third of the esophagus. Esophagoscopy showed narrowing of the esophagus with normal mucosa. Chest X rays were normal, but on lung scan there was no perfusion of the left lung. That patient died of aspiration and on post mortem a carcinoma of the bronchus with abscess formation and perforation into the esophagus was fo

摘要:
AbstractFactors influencing survival were reviewed in 464 patients with recurrent breast cancer. Site of first recurrence and rate of tumor progression governed prognosis more than choice of initial therapy. Overall median survival was 22—26 months for bone/soft‐tissue disease, 10—12 months for pleura/lung, and 4—6 months for liver/brain recurrence. Patients with slow rates of tumor progression at each site had longer survival terms than did rapid progressors. About 50% of patients with bone or soft‐tissue recurrence had slow progression and long survival, regardless of whether initial treatment was local or systemic. In visceral recurrence, the number of patients with slow progression was doubled with systemic therapy in comparison to local treatment (from 16—20% for the latter to 37—38% for the former). In addition, long‐term survival in patients with similar progression rates was best using initial s

摘要:
AbstractFifteen malignant melanomas were subjected to chromosomal analysis, in order to determine whether the number of chromosomes in a tumor cell could be correlated to a clinical prognosis. The protocol involved a direct technique which utilized a Colcemid blockade of spindle formation in mitosis to allow study of metaphase chromosomes. The direct method was chosen to reveal chromosome changes in the tumor cell in situ rather than changes in the cultured cell. Two tumors yielded chromosome spreads which could be counted and correlated with a clinical prognosis. Failure to obtain other adequate chromosome spreads were accounted for by the presence of tissue necrosis and the absence of viable tumor cells.

摘要:
AbstractThe effects of arterial infusion with chemotherapy alone or in combination with hepatic artery ligation on the normal liver of the cat were studied. Early in the course of treatment catas receiving chemotherapy infusion only appeared sicker than animals in other groups. Yet only 1 of 5 cats was dead at 12 weeks. In contrast, 4 of 6 animals that had hepatic artery ligation and chemotherapy infusion, and 3 of 6 that had ligation of the hepatic artery only, died during the same period of follow‐up. Progressive liver damage after dearterialization accounted for the high mortality rate. Histologic examination of liver biopsies taken from animals in these latter groups revealed marked destruction of the parenchyma. These changes were more extensive in animals treated by a combination of hepatic artery ligation and chemotherapy infusion. To avoid the injurious effects of permanent interruption of the hepatic arterial flow on normal liver tissue an alternative method of hepatic dearterialization is currently under investigatio

摘要:
AbstractTumor necrosis in situ by cryosurgery, electrocoagulation, or ligation generally induces or augments some increase in tumor‐specific transplantation immunity (TSTI) as compared with excision. Excision of the tumor 24 hours after it has been rendered ischemic by either ligation or cryosurgery seems to produce TSTI that is significantly greater than that after excision of viable tumor without prior ligation or cryosurgery; the degree of this immunity is similar to that seen after the tumor is left in situ indefinitely after treatment. These data suggest that most of the immunization following tumor necrosis in situ occurs within 24 hours of treatment. The experimental findings support the clinical reports of putative immunologic potentiation after tumor necrosis in sit

摘要:
AbstractThe response to intravenous challenge with pneumococcus was examined in asplenic and sham‐operated adult Sprague‐Dawley rats eighteen weeks following surgery. The LD50 was over 2,000‐fold greater in the sham‐operated animals than in the asplenic animals. These results suggest that the age of an asplenic host, the length of time following splenectomy, and the presence of a normal immune system other than the asplenic state do not in themselves confer i

摘要:
AbstractThe vasculature of a poorly immunogenic, highly metastatic transplantable fibrosarcoma (T‐241) maintained in the femoral muscle of C57BL/6J mice was perfused. This permitted collection of tumor cells which had invaded into the tumor vascular channels (ie, metastasizing tumor cells). Also collected as a separate population were tumor cells from the primary tumor mass. Immunization was carried out with these cell populations in conjunction with BCG and the effect on the growth of primary tumor and metastatic rate was evaluated following rechallenge with unfractionated tumor cells. The rate of tumor growth at the primary site was not affected by any of the immunization schedules. However, immunization with venous effluent cells (metastasizing tumor cells) and BCG was two times more effective in reducing the number of pulmonary metastases than immunization using tumor cells isolated from the primary tumor mass. Passively transferred spleen cells from donors immunized with the cell populations listed above had exactly the same effect, that is, no effect on the growth of the primary tumor, but a dramatic reduction in the metastatic rate when effluent tumor cells were used to immunize cell donors. The data point to an antigenic heterogeneity with this particular transplantable tumo
